Ah Kindle TOUCH 3, not Kindle 3. Maybe if you blocked all amazon sites on the router? I don't know where the Kindles get the time & date on the Internet and I'm baffled about so many models you can't set it on. An abusive design.
With a Kobo you can even set it from Calibre to desktop's time. Also Amazon won't let you (normally) downgrade SW, but trivial on Kobo.
This is why after years of using Kindles I now only use them to test new styles when formatting a new ebook title and use a Kobo to read for entertainment, or proof & annotate.
A decent Kobo is the cost of 10 to 20 decent paper books and Gutenberg has nearly 70,000 PD titles. Then because you have a Kindle, you can go to Content & Devices and copy/paste serial number into a Calibre plugin, download all the Amazon titles you bought and read them on a Kobo.
You can even turn off the Kobo homepage with sideloadedmode=true.
